Hummus

This beige-colored spread is made traditionally with mashed chickpeas, tahini sesame paste, lemon juice, and garlic. Hummus is popular all over the world because of its tangy flavor and nutritional value.

When served, it is usually drizzled with olive oil and used as a dip for vegetables or a flavorful filling for flatbreads like pita. Even today, little is known about its origins, though hummus was first mentioned in 13th-century Egypt.

Hummus is sometimes spiced with cumin and paprika, and it can be topped with anything from fresh herbs, cucumbers, and chopped tomatoes to olives, pine nuts, and hard-boiled eggs. This delicious dish is also served with Crudités, Içli köfte, Jachnun, Falafel, Taameya, Haminados, Pita Bread, Bagel Toast. If you intend to travel to Israel, this meal is one of the must-try dishes for you.
